Chapter 405
Carlisle said, “Wanda isn’t feeling well right now, and I need to go out for a while. You can chat with her!”
He handed the phone to Wanda. “Talk to Phoebe for a while. I’ll be back very soon!”
Wanda held the phone in her hand but did not know what to say.
She remembered who Phoebe was.
She knew she owned a company, which Phoebe and Christine were helping her manage, but she didn’t know what to say. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“Wanda, are you alright?”
“My stomach hurts…”
“Oh? Are you on your period?”
“Yes!”
“Do you want to go to the toilet?”
“Yes…” Wanda grabbed some tissues and went to the toilet.
Carlisle swallowed. He assumed that Wanda would be able to handle it. He had to go
and buy some period pads first.
Carlisle strode out of the room, locked it, and headed for the elevator.
When he got downstairs, he saw that it was drizzling.
Carlisle ran out to the pharmacy in the rain to buy ibuprofen.
The shop assistant was an older woman who was around 30 years old. She smiled and said, “You’re buying this for your girlfriend, right?”
“Yes!” He nodded boldly.
The shop
assistant/said, “Let me recommend some medicine to you. They’re very effective for period cramps. I’m taking them too!”
Carlisle did not even bother thinking about whether or not it would work. He bought everything she recommended.
He didn’t even look at the instructions. After all, Wanda was alone at home!
“By the way, we’ve just gotten a new batch of hot chocolate. This can help warm her up and can also be effective in alleviating pain. Do you want to take a box to try it out?” The shop assistant took out a box of hot chocolate and placed it on the glass.
counter.
“Yes.” Carlisle nodded without even thinking. He put two 100–dollar bills on the counter. “Please prepare some common household medicines for me as fast as you can. I’m in a rush!”
“Okay! Give me two more minutes!” the shop assistant said breezily. She went off to get the medicine.
She brought back medication for cold, aspirin, ointment for bruises, antiseptic, bandages, and band–aids.
By the time he finished buying the items, the rain outside had gotten heavier.
Carlisle covered his purchase with his clothes and ran over to the convenience store opposite the pharmacy to buy pads and daily necessities.
Callie and Melanie were eating at Sharna Cafe next to the convenience store.
They had watched Carlisle buy a huge pile of medicine at the pharmacy before running in the rain to the convenience store to get daily necessities.
Callie propped her chin in one hand and said in amusement, “That young lady probably has her period. Look at Carlisle buying that huge pile of medicine! He’s so silly. He’s just the kind of person that pharmacies try to fleece!”
She had seen the shop assistant give Carlisle a box of hot chocolate, which was why she had deduced that Wanda was probably on her period.
Callie was inwardly disdainful. Did Wanda really need to be carried upstairs just because she was on her period? That was rather fussy behavior.
However, it was grapes.

Melanie murmured, “He isn’t silly. He’s in love!”
Callie did not retort. She took a piece of apple pie and put it in her mouth to chew.
The light in her eyes grew darker, as if she were thinking about the past.
Melanie sipped her mushroom soup as she smiled and said, “Are you thinking about your ex–boyfriend?”
